Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can put me on a rig
You can put me on a freight dock
Put a hammer in my hand
I'll give it all I've got
It's just what I do
It ain't hard to understand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
[Verse 2]
You can sew an old patch on
With a company and a name
It may read a little different
Inside, I'm still the same
It's just what I do
It ain't hard to understand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
[Chorus]
Whatever it takes, it just does
Living on a dream in a cloud of dust
Riding out is just what I do
Wish I could stay, to tell the truth
It may seem cold, but when I get old
You'll know I made a stand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
[Chorus]
Whatever it takes, it just does
Living on a dream in a cloud of dust
Riding out is just what I do
I wish I could stay, to tell the truth
It may seem cold, but when I get old
You'll know I made a stand
You can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
Oh, you can change the tools
But you can't change the working man
[Outro]
You can put me on a rig
You can put me on a freight dock
Put a hammer in my hand
I'll give it all I've got
